Lyrics:Stein Music:Stein Your old lover's lying in the gutter He used to be such an all night strutter 'Oh my heart' I heard him mutter 'Oh my dear it seems to flutter' Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh It's so hard to say no when the deck is stacked to only go slow It's easy sweet to live it up An easy street when you've had enough Darkened night splashing light soft and white and so polite Let him in beneath the rim beneath the skin your next of kin Cleansing fire funeral pyre broken wire grown inside her Secret hush swollen rush it's soft and plush It's so lush You know it's so passe to sleep without you every day So easy to do your stuff so easy to live it up
